In an apparent effort to boost tourism and counter the effects of the coup on travel insurance, Tourism Authority of Thailand has launched "Travel Shield" (travel insurance)
Online application forms offer two plans starting from 650 Baht.
The insurance becomes effective when individuals pass the inbound immigration checkpoint.
Trip cancellation or postponement prior to in country arrival is not covered.
The insurance covers persons up to the age of 70.
"Travel Shield" (travel insurance) cost and benefits are in Thai Baht
Plan 1 Maximum benefit 1,000,000 equals US$30,000 (approx see exchange rate)
Plan 2 Maximum benefit 2,000,000 equals US$60,000 (approx see exchange rate)

The Blah factor
It's old news now. I had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.
The surgery was performed at one of the Khoen Kean University Hospitals.
I took my time recovering in the hospital, probably because every time I felt any pain I was given morphine into my intravenous tube. Preparation, tests, operation and post care lasted two weeks and cost US $4,000.
Recently went for a follow up visit. Drinking a can of latte before a blood pressure check was probably not appropriate, then having to wait for over three hours did drive up the anxiety factor. I was given three medications to reduce my blood pressure.
Amazing here is the fact that during three times a day blood pressure monitoring while I was hospitalized my blood pressure was always normal.
Now at home, taking the prescribed medication I felt somewhat BLAH. Too much time in front of the TV, no energy to do anything else.
Bought a test kit this morning which seems to confirm my suspicion:
Stop taking the medicine.
After a few days of monitoring I can probably decide the medicine is not needed, or I can limit myself to one medicine instead of three.
I'd say 93-54 is too low from a normal 120-80
2:30 pm Update: just spent half an hour scrubbing the pool room floor. BP=120-74
